 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing or other copyright issues. The proposed image does not appear in the article and is therefore ineligible for use according to the rules of DYK. Another minor problem is that the taxobox puts the virus in the genus Iflavirus but the article states that it "has not yet been assigned to a genus." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:46, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching my cut & paste error with the infobox! I have amended. It's a shame the image can't be used but I don't think it's suitable for inclusion in the article. I have swapped it for a crop of the image in the article and edited the hook to indicate where the "pictured" should now go; however, I fear the quality at full size might not be sufficient as it is a bit out of focus.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg With the image problem solved and the genus sorted, this is now ready to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
